Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I am currently unable to change cursors or change cursor sizes (for variable-size cursors) on my Dell netbook. This running 10.04 Lucid. I had installed some additional cursor packages, then noticed I couldn't change the cursors from "Appearance Preferences". (This works well on other systems I have running Lucid. All are kept up-to-date frequently). I updated this system today.

Currently I have the Default, DMZ, redglass, and whiteglass cursors installed, but I have tried adding and removing various cursor packages since I observed this problem, with no effect.

This bug seems similar to Bug #150475, but that is around 3 years old, so I suspect this is not a duplicate.

I'm attaching the output of apt-show-versions.
